Ameco Beijing–Air China and Lufthansa formed Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corp.

Ameco Beijing–Air China and Lufthansa formed Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corp. (Ameco Beijing) as a 60:40 joint venture in 1989. Its facilities at Beijing Capital International Airport include a four-bay hangar covering 334,000 sq ft, a 108,000-sq-ft paint hangar, 66,000 sq ft of component workshops and an engine repair and overhaul workshop and engine test cell covering another 280,000 sq ft. In August 2004 the partners agreed to extend the joint venture for another 25 years, and to invest $100 million in expanding its facilities over the subsequent four years. A new 538,000-sq-ft hangar capable of accommodating two Airbus A380s, two Boeing 747-400s and two 777-300ERs simultaneously is scheduled for completion by October 2007.
